About the Creator
The Road by Cormac McCarthy:
"If he is not the word of God, God never spoke." It's a line spoken by The Man, unnamed, early on in the 2007 Pulitzer Prize winning novel, "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. It's this line, elegiac and moving, infused with despair and hope, that informs you, you're not reading something you'll easily forget.

Masculinity in Flux: Louie Theroux's Deep Dive Into Men's Rights Influencers and Modern Gender Dynamics
I’ve always admired Louie Theroux’s work, so when I heard he was releasing a documentary on Netflix, I was genuinely excited. Louie has a knack for diving into topics that are both relevant and thought-provoking, and this time he’s tackling the rise of men’s rights influencers—a subject that’s become increasingly prominent as society grapples with shifting attitudes toward gender and masculinity. The documentary offers a rare glimpse into a world that I’ve only encountered in passing, and it feels timely given the growing concern around these figures. As I watched, I found myself reflecting on how these influencers gain traction and how their reach is shaping conversations about what it means to be a man today. Louie’s approach made me both curious and uneasy, especially as I considered the potential impact on younger audiences and the ripple effects through society.

Thirty (one) and Neither Flirty nor Thriving.
I'm thirty-one and orbiting the same few mistakes like they're landmarks. London is already awake before I am (or before I've slept) - sirens somewhere far enough to ignore, buses sighing at stops, people moving with purpose I can't quite borrow. I lie there for a bit, tasting last night at the back of my throat, trying to remember if I meant to drink that much or if it just...happened again.
